Bryce made it to 174 all time on the home-run list, tied with six others at 287 long balls for his career. He is now 30, like the long ball slugger Manny Machado with the San Diego Padres.
Garrett Anderson played memorably with the Los Angeles Angels, retiring in 2010 at age 38. Bobby Bonilla was wrapped up in 2001 at the same age as Anderson, 38, and played one less season. Bonilla is famously earning great money with the Mets until the year 2030. Amazing.
I invite you and me to look up the other names: Frank Thomas was done back in 1966, while the others are more recent, including the Natural Ryan Zimmerman who finished as the all-time home run leader with the Washington Nationals. He helped bring the title to the DMV back in 2019, quite memorable and special.
All these guys are special. Rarefied air, Mr. Harper.
Hopefully he will get another 30 or so this year.
